Hood & Hatch dont line up

Replaced the hood and now there is a 1 inch gap between the hood and the bumper, I know there was a thread on this before but how could I fix this? Also the hatch has an issue, it sticks out about 3/4 of an inch too far and doesnt line up with the corner spoiler on either side?
Thanks guys.

Re: Hood & Hatch dont line up

Maybe the bumper is "sagging" in the front. If you have the hood pretty much as far forward as it will go in the hinges...I'll guess thats the problem.
The hatch has to be removed from the glass to make that kind of adjustment. Heres the link for the hatch.....dont know where the hood one is. Not sure there is one in the Tech pages.
